Getting in

Approach: The way in is a little difficult. The approach to the forest path is wide, and its slopes and level changes are gentle.
Parking: Accessible parking for the forest path can be awkward because it is narrow. Using the north gate parking lot of Presbyterian Theological University (장로신학대학교), near the mountain entrance, makes access easier. Sources differ on whether parking is available.
Route: Reaching the forest path by public transport is hard for wheelchair users and people who have trouble walking. Sources differ on public transport access. The walk to the mountain takes about 15 minutes from Gwangnaru Station Exit 1 on Line 5, or about 25 minutes from Achasan Station Exit 2. Achasan Station Exit 2 has no street elevator. For the elevator exit, see Getting there.
